VI. Awarding of Medallions and Certificates

Introduction:
Rosemarie Rossetti once said, “It is important that you recognized your progress and
take pride in your accomplishments. Share your achievements with others. Brag a little.
The recognition and support of those around you is nurturing.”

Presented before us today are the students who have attained academic excellence
for the school year 2023-2024. These individuals have demonstrated outstanding
performance in both academics and attendance, while also serving as role models for
their peers at NDDU-IBED. They embody the belief that diligence, persistence, and
sacrifices are essential elements on the path to success.

With them are their parents who serve as their mentors, guides, strengths, and
inspirations. This Recognition Day is conducted to give due recognition to the
deserving honor students and their parents.

Once again, to the awardees and to their parents, congratulations!

To all the teachers and NDDU administrators, congratulations also for making a
difference in the lives of our students and for always adhering to the motto of our

love them, and love them equally.”

And to all IBED JHS students, consider this a significant call to push yourselves further
and aim for academic excellence. Keep in mind, with God’s assistance, all obstacles
can be overcome, and where there's determination, there's always a path forward.

And of course, we would like to thank all the personnel who helped to make this activity
